Monstrum

A couple of upcoming Switch games from SOEDESCO have been impacted by the coronavirus. Monstrum, along with Adam’s Venture: Origins, will see a delay with their physical versions. Fortunately, digital releases for both titles will take place as scheduled.

Hans van Brakel, executive manager at SOEDESCO, said in a statement today:

The puzzle game TaniNani drops on the Switch eShop starting April 22. For a look at some footage, check out the video below.

If you haven’t enabled 2-step verification on your Nintendo Account, you may want to consider doing so. Recently, a notable amount of Switch owners have claimed that their accounts have been accessed without consent.

The news started to circular after Twitter user Pixelpar said that his account was accessed multiple times from various locations. A quick look at social media indicates that it’s not an isolated incident, as many users have been affected in a similar way. At least a portion of Nintendo Account owners who also set up a PayPal link says funds had been accessed to purchase Fortnite’s VBuck currency.

Nintendo has responded to user reports that their Nintendo Accounts have been accessed without consent.

In a statement, the company said that it is “investigating” the situation. Nintendo also recommends users enable 2-step verification.

The full statement reads:


Back in 1998, Psygnosis and FDI released the action-adventure game O.D.T.: Escape or Die Trying. It was also planned for the N64 at one point, but that version never materialized.

More than two decades later, Piko Interactive has announced that it has acquired the rights to O.D.T.: Escape or Die Trying. Interestingly, that also includes the unreleased N64 version.

Piko hasn’t said what exactly it intends to do with the game moving forward. However, restoring the N64 version is certainly one possibility. Last year, the company restored the N64 edition of 40 Winks, a platformer which was cancelled at the last minute for Nintendo’s old console in 1999.

OctoBox Interactive originally hoped to release its strategy game Auto Chess: Heroes of Paragon last month. Following a delay, it’ll now launch this week – and with a new name to boot.

Due to legal reasons, the title is now being called MetaChampions. The free-to-play title is due out digitally on April 22.

Here’s some information about MetaChampions, along with a trailer:

Nomada Studios, the developers behind the award winning puzzle-platformer Gris, have announced that the title has sold over one million copies.

Gris first launched on Switch in December 2018 to critical acclaim, going on to win many awards for its visuals and game design, including the ‘Games for Impact’ award in The Game Awards in 2019.

Nomada shared the news in a tweet that you can see below.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart. This week, Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 moves up another spot to #2 while Bayonetta 3 and Shin Megami Tensei V are in the top five. Also, Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is in the top ten for the first time.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between April 2 and April 8.

Dragon Marked for Death

Dragon Marked for Death version 3.0.0 will not launch this coming week as originally expected. Inti Creates is delaying its release, the company announced. Inti Creates has been impacted by having to work out of the office due to the coronavirus.

Dragon Marked for Death version 3.0.0 features the Oracle and the Bandit as new playable characters. Other new features are coming as well such as brand new weapon categories, powering up weapons as a whole, increased level caps, and more.
